Georgia will open defense of its national championship against Oregon in a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on ABC, it was announced Tuesday.

The Chick-fil-A Kickoff game will be played Sept. 3 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

It won’t just be Georgia’s first game of the 2022 season. It will be a matchup against former defensive coordinator Dan Lanning, who left Georgia for the Oregon job immediately after the season.

Notre Dame at Ohio State will be the prime-time game Sept. 3 with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on ABC.
